Reflection:
I first thought that making the voice thread was going to be hard and time consuming. I was correct. I could not get it to work for me. I tried everything and it still would not work. I would had liked to created one properly however, it could not work for me and I will not use it for my classroom since I don't think that this will work for any of my students. This was a wonderful idea however, it just did not work for me.
